The difference between fear and anxiety... They might feel the same—a racing heart, tight chest, and a sense of unease. But here’s the key distinction: fear is a response to a real, immediate threat. It’s your body saying, “Act now to protect yourself.” For example, you feel fear when a car suddenly swerves into your lane. Anxiety, on the other hand, is more like your mind playing “what if” scenarios on repeat. It’s not tied to a clear, immediate danger but stems from worries about what could happen. It’s that looming dread before a big meeting or overthinking a decision long after it’s made. The tricky part? Anxiety can sometimes feel as urgent as fear, even when there’s no immediate threat.

Bookmark for when you have anxiety— or just need to get back into your body. Not everyone can handle a cold plunge or shower without triggering fight-or-flight, and that’s okay. You’re not alone. A simple hand ice bath is a gentler way to experience the calming benefits of cold exposure. Put your hands in ice water for 10-30 seconds. Breathe deeply into your belly and remind yourself—you can handle the cold. Repeat a few rounds if it feels right for you. Let me know if it helps!

The way we allow others to treat us is deeply tied to how we feel about ourselves... If you don’t set boundaries, if you settle for less, or if you’re constantly seeking validation, it’s often a reflection of unhealed parts of you. When you love and respect yourself, you naturally attract a partner who mirrors that same love and respect. It’s not about blaming yourself for someone else’s behaviour—it’s about recognising the power of self-love in shaping your relationships. What’s one way you can show yourself love today?

As an advocate for children, I want to shed light on the challenges they face when tasked with meeting the expectations of parents who pass down unhealed trauma... It’s so unfair to place such heavy demands on kids when all they’ve inherited are the unresolved wounds of previous generations. We need to prioritise healing and building a supportive, loving environment where our children can truly thrive.

Maybe we just need a shift in perspective 👀... Anxiety loves “what if” statements. What if they don't like me? What if I'm not good enough? What if I don't like it? What if you shift to see the other side 😉 If you relate, order my book High-Functioning Anxiety and let's get you thriving 🤍 #drlalitaa #anxiety #mentalhealth #psychologist

Subtle signs of anxiety you might miss 👀 ... Have you ever noticed these in yourself or others? Anxiety isn’t always obvious—it doesn’t always show up as a full-blown panic attack. Often, it hides behind behaviours and expressions that are easy to overlook. Many people appear fine on the surface while quietly struggling inside. That’s why it’s so important to recognise these less obvious signs and check in with your loved ones, even those who seem like they have it all together 🤍 If you relate, order my book High-Functioning Anxiety and let's get you thriving! #drlalitaa #anxiety #mentalhealth #psychologist
